Creating a registry key programatically

Hi all,
How to create a variable in the registry programatically ? And how to assign a value programatically to it after ? For example I want to create the variable named 'log_dest' in the registry , and I want to assign 'D:\bin\log' as its value , how to do that ?
Thank you very much indeed.

I use a client/server architecture.
There was an error when executing the procedure. I created a test forms , and I just created a control block which contains a button. In the when-button-pressed trigger I coded : win_api_environment.write_registry('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE','TEST_REGISTR','D:\MYLOGS',true); . I already attached the d2kwutil.pll to the form module.
The error is : FRM-40734: internal error : pl/sql error occurred.
So how to resolve it ?

Java applets run in a "sandbox" so to speak... so you
can't do this :)
If you really really want to, you can purchase a
license from Verisign, sign your applet and then (try
to) turn off all of the security restrictions in your
applet and then do whatever you want...I believe you can also change the permissions file - on each client.

Siebel webclient: An attempt to create a registry key has failed

Hi,
I am trying to install siebel webclient on my PC. but i am getting an error "An attempt to create a registry key has failed" and after this, the installer has uninstalled the files.
I have succesfully installed the same around 1 year ago. But uninstalled after that. Now i am trying to install again.
I believe the uninstaller has not cleaned the Registry properly.
Can any one help me to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Umesh

And if you have to include type, it might be better to use a switch statement:
Foreach ($RegVal in $RegGroup.Group) {
Switch ($RegVal.Type) {
"String" {Set-RegString $RegVal.Value $RegVal.Data}
"Dword" {Set-RegDword $RegVal.Value $RegVal.Data} <etc>
I hope this post has helped!

Configuration item to create a registry key in every HKEY_USERS key

Hi,
Would it be possible to create a configuration item that will create a registry key if not existing in every users under HKEY_USERS?
Would a wildcard symbol (% or *) work for this?
Ex.Check if the following registry keys is existing, if not remediate.
HKEY_USERS\%\Console\%SystemRoot%_System32_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe OR HKEY_USERS\*\Console\%SystemRoot%_System32_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe
Thanks!

That's going to be really tricky, mainly because of permissions. I did something similar once for a different registry key. See as an example:

Is there a way to create/edit registry keys with Java?

I'm writing a console app and I'd like to have it so the users can change values in the registry. I'm not just talking about app keys I want any key. Is there a way to do this with Java?

Maybe a forum search on "Windows registry" would turn up some useful things. You're not the first to ask this. You might save yourself and everyone else some time if you'd simply do that.

Adding Registry Keys To Code

Is there any way of having code to create a registry key into the JAVA Script instead of when the program is installed, having it outside. I have heard in other languages that you can create a registry key within a few liens of code, is it also possible in JAVA?
Example of another language:
<registrySet>
<key>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Control\Session Manager\Environment</key>
<name>MY_APPDIR</name>
<value>${installed}</value>
</registrySet>

MaxNBrowseValue Registry Key

Hello,
We have a report with a parameter with dynamic prompt. This read entries from Item Master Table from the database. When running the report, only 500 or so item records are displayed in the prompt, though there are around 1500 records.
Upon searching on internet, I came across some posts for older versions that there is a registry key which controls the number of records being displayed. I changed this value to 1000, but there was no effect. In fact, after restarting, I realised that Crystal has changed the value back to 500.
Is there any other way to control this??
We are using Crystal Reports 2008 for SAP Business One.
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Jain

the registry key changes are as follows
Crystal Reports 2008
1.     Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
NOTE     Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
2.     Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter.
NOTE: The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R3 or Crystal Reports Server XI R3, you must specify another value.
NOTE     The higher the number of values is, the longer it will take the Enter Values dialog box to populate with values.
3.      After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.

Raghavendra

SharePoint 2013 Published links to Office client applications - Registry key for MySite is missing on client

Hello,
how is the Registry Key HKCU\Software\AppDataLow\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Portal
for "PersonalSiteURL" supposed to be set in SharePoint 2013 / Office 2013?
Or is there another way to tell the Office Clients where to look for the user profile / published links? In SharePoint 2007 there was a button "Set as default MySite" which creates the Registry key as far as I know.
How is Office 2013 supposed to get this Information?
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis ,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the Published links using Office 2013 on client.
Yes, you can get the Published links using Office 2013 on client. For achieving your demand, you need to have the 15.0/Common/Portal registry key setup with a PersonalSiteURL defined . For detailed information,
you can refer to the article and note that everything is 15 instead of 12 now:

Have you tried to create a registry key with [TARGETDIR]\\<Your app name> in the installer? The whole installer business is after all based on MSI so you best try to find how that would be solved in MSI and try then to apply that knowledge in LabVIEW.
And reading through one of the posts it would seem to me that this suggestion was already sort of linked to in one of the posts. If this can't be made to work in this way then I'm afraid there won't exist another solution directly in the installer, but I do think it will work.

Acrobat registry keys to create file name and path

Hi,
I need to find a way to get my Acrobat to create a pdf with the same name as the drawing file it's created from and in the same folder as the drawing file. The folder path will vary from drawing to drawing.
I need this to happen automatically, without prompting for the file name or the destination.
I see there is a way to set a pre-defined path using registry keys but is there a way to use registry keys to set the filename and path of the drawing, please?
I would rather not use scripting as I don't really know how to do it.
Thanks,
Barnaby

I think it will use the path and name of the original file if you do not prompt for a file name. I always ask, so I am not sure.

App Builder Installer Build Registry Keys no longer created in Vista.

This board has been a great resource for answers...thank you all for your help.
Last week (7/31/09), an automatic MS Windows Vista Home Premium
upgrade was performed on my development PC. After the upgrade, I
used AppBuilder to build the final version of my application, which writes
3 string keys to the Window's registry. The Installer build completed successfully,
however, when I run setup.exe, I received an OS error stating that I don't
have permission to update the registry. I have full admin rights AND
User Account Control (UCS) is OFF. This error notification occurred 3
times, once for each registry addition attempt.
The installation was working correctly prior to this Vista update and still works in XP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please note that this is VI independent- the registry keys were created through
the AppBuilder 'Installer' tool.
I worry that this problem will manifest itself with all new LV application installations
that have the Vista upgrade.

Does the installation fail only when you try to install on computers that have the Vista update? Or since you have updated your development computer, when you build the installer again the installation will fail on any computer? Have you tried installing it on more than one computer with the Vista update?
Please attach the installer log for when the installation fails.

Cannot create registry key?

I've downloaded iTunes and when I try to install it it come up with an error saying:

Please help me!!! I got a new iPod video and I can't use it without iTunes 7.0 or later!

some folks have been having some success with that one when they use pgfpdwife's technique in the following post:
pgfpdwife: Re: Could not open key HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classic\Quicktime.Quicktime\
note carefully that the technique involves a registry edit. be sure to make a backup of any keys you edit. if you're unfamiliar with your registry or registry editing, head to your XP help and support, do a search on registry, and read through the articles that come up.
There are also some instructions on how to back up registry keys in the following document:

Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2

Hi,
I have a Primary site (mixed mode) running SCCM 2007 SP1 for many months now with no issues.
This site is made up of two Win 2008 sp2 servers sharing the SCCM roles:-
SCCM01 - Site server, DP, RP, PXE and SQL2005 hosting the SCCM database
SCCM02 – SUP, MP, FSP, SLP
The SQL2005 on SCCM01 is running under a domain service account called
domain\service_sccm which is also a sysadmin in SQL as is the SCCM02 server.
In an effort to resolve the isse I have made this account a Domain Admin.
I have also used this account to log onto SEC01 to run the Secondary Site installation and to be the SQL Service account.
I'm now trying to add a Secondary Site on a Domain Controller called SEC01 (also Win2008 sp2) and on the same LAN as the SCCM01/02.
This is where I get problems.
I run the installation locally on the Sec Site server (DC) as a Domain Admin and the installation completes OK (all green ticks),
the ComponentSetup.log and Pre-Reqs are all good as well however when I check the ConfigMgrSetup.log I see the below -
Failed to set security on SQL Server registry key. Error: 2.
<11-09-2010 22:46:59> SMS Setup full version is 4.00.6221.1000

Adding the PMP role to SEC01 also fails to install and no MPSetup or MPControl logs are created.
WebDav and win2008 roles, features all added and server fully patched.
Despooler.log on SCCM01 seems good and passing keys.
Tried installing to default path and to shortened path such as C:\SCCM
The new secondary site is listed in the console and an address can be added for the Secondary Site
BITS Server Extensions and Remote Differential Compression Features are enabled.
The Group memberships all appear ok:-
SCCM01
Local Admins
contains the sec site server SEC01, SCCM01, installation accounts
SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_001
SEC01 (the sec site server)
SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_001
SCCM02
SEC01
No Local Admins as a DC
SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_002
SCCM01
SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_002
empty
SQL 2005
This has the account logged in during installation as a sysadmin
SCCM02 is also sysadmin
The fundamental issue appears to be that the SEC01$ server account is not being added to SQL Logins (and therefore SCCM database Roles)
therefore the installation cannot complete.
I have tried to manually add the SEC01 account to SQL Logins before installation of Sec Site but this did not work.
Not sure if the fact that SEC01 is a DC may be a factor.
Appreciate any help if anyone has seen this before or can suggest a resolution.
Thanks

After a lot of digging around and head scratching I eventually found the resolution.
The original thread title Error turned out to be a bit of a red herring in that my failure to deploy Sec Sites came down to two separate issues seemingly unrelated to the error message of the thread title.
The first part of the resolution was to manually create the SQL Server accounts for the Sec Site Servers and assign them to the smsdbrole_MP DB role to
let the SQL side of the SCCM install complete a s these were not being created automatically.
This then left the fact that that the installation of the Sec Site completed successfully according to the install logs in C:\ however the DP and MP would
never install.
The big clue was eventually contained in the mpfdm.log errors relating to
**ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox SMS_AMT_PROXY_COMPONENT on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER
and
**ERROR: Cannot find path for destination inbox Asset Intelligence KB Manager on server REGISTRY SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER
Thankfully the errors led me to these two blogs:
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/scassells/archive/2009/07/20/error-cannot-find-path-for-destination-inbox-sms-amt-proxy-component-on-server-registry.aspx
and
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/5fcc53d4-8629-4b34-9eaa-6cb020eedc13/
As it turned out the SCCM installation registry and folder creation does not complete and I had to manually enter the reg settings as detailed in the
links above to complete the installation. Once I did as described everything worked a treat – all my MPs and DPs are 100% now.

Add the following reg keys to each of your effected secondary sites.

How to include install date and time in registry keys

Hi All,
Hopefully someone can help me. I am creating an installer which includes some properties in the build specs. I also wannt to include some registry keys to be added upon installation:
1. I include the install directory of the application by providing the key with the value [INSTALLDIR]. This seems to work well and I have no problem with this.
2. The other key I would like to include (but I do not know how) is the date and time of installation. Is there a way of automatically including this in a registry key (similar to INSTALLDIR)?
I look forward to your expert advice!
Kind Regards,
Larry

Larry,
afaik the setting for "Run as Admin" is per OS process. As the "Run Exe after installation" is a different process as the application you installed by it (e.g. "MyApplication.exe"), i wouldn't expect the MyApplication.exe to require/use admin-rights.
